I found out how to run Macromedia Flash stand alone player 6 on a Linux PPC with qemu.

Follow step by step:
- Compile and install qemu 0.5 or CVS (Savannah is working again). Note that you have to remove "sparc-user" in "config-host.mak" after the "./cofigure".
- Mount a i386 system with gflashplayer installed. (I'll make a package with flash player and its dependencies as soon as I can)
UPDATE : The package is here : (http://g-remy.isa-geek.org/flash_x86.tar.bz2)

Sweet! This actually really works Thanks a lot for providing the binary package...
The speed for most animations is quite decent on my Pismo Powerbook (except for big flash sites like 2advanced.com). Sound is severly distorted, so you should turn off your loudspeakers before entering some flash site.

Unfortunately, this still leaves the gflashplayer menu bar on, and I don't see a way around this... This also leads to problems when the flash is embedded in a web site with fixed dimensions and is cut off at the edges since the menu bar takes away a lot of space.
Here is a screenshot of Firebird 0.7 running a flash animation inside the browser window:

So what's next? Maybe we can get the x86 codecs to run on mplayer? I think that would be pretty cool...

Most programs are dynamically linked, as I'm sure you know. Qemu can not emulate all the libraries every single program uses, nor can it link a little endian i386 binary to big endian ppc libraries. You must have i386 compiled libraries present somewhere where qemu can find them, -L option gives it the location.

I supose the package g-rem created includes all the libraries you need to run gflashplayer. From his further instructions it seems you should have unpacked the package to /mnt/i386.

You just unpacked it to another place... so change -L option accordingly!

UPDATE: also plugger works! now I can see all flash animation inside mozilla and also konqueror
Does anybody found a way to remove gflashplayer's menu-bar inside the browser _________________~ "Progress is merely a realisation of utopias" ~

Anyone have a copy of the 'flash_x86.tar.bz2' file from this thread? The link is broken....

Yes I do, but I don't have a web page or anything to post it on.
If no one else post it, send me a private message with your
email address and i will send it to you straight away.

I can host it on my machine if that's OK with you. Gimme a shout to bruda (at) cs (dot) ubishops (dot) ca
in case of an affirmative answer (and maybe even attach the file to the message, I do not mind). I will post the URL in this thread once the file is up.

4) get IBMJava2-JRE-142.ppc.tgz form http://simonraven.nuit.ca/src/java/
uninstall any previous java that you might have (previous java give a gflashplayer bug in opera)
move the /jre folder form IBMJava2 to /usr/lib
make a link from /usr/lib/jre/bin/java to /bin
